Lost And Found In Theatre Village



A Note From Grace Hatchell
Oi, before you go wandering off down the village, have a quick nosy at Theatre News, love. I’ve pinned up theatre goings-on quicker than you can say ‘five minute call’.Honestly, if theatre folk stopped putting notices on boards, half of us would miss our cue and the other half would end up in panto by accident.
Anyway, kettle’s on, board’s updated, and there’s probably somebody looking for a tap-dancing pirate by teatime.

The Home Of The UK Theatre Community
Theatre Village is a UK theatre blog and online theatre community where theatre reviews, casting news, fringe discoveries, ticket guides and backstage gossip all arrive straight from the stage door.
Our village may be fictional, but the theatre world we cover is entirely real. From West End openings and touring productions to hidden fringe gems, Theatre Village shines a spotlight on the shows, performers and stories people are talking about across the UK.
Delivering much of the news is Grace Hatchell, our sharp-eyed village postie, cycling between theatres with reviews, rumours, recommendations and the occasional dramatic note tucked inside her satchel.
Whether you’re a lifelong theatre lover, an Edinburgh Fringe explorer, or booking theatre tickets for the very first time — pull up a chair and join the village.
